Robin hit Gavin in the gut hard with a hard karate chop.

Gavin gasped as the air escaped through his mouth. He stumbled backwards slowly and grabbed his gut. "You're a challenge alright."

Robin smirked. "I learned from the best." He kicked at Gavin's knee hard.

Gavin stepped out of the way and the kick soared past. He kicked Robin's toe and shoved it on the ground.

Robin came around with his other leg and kicked Gavin in the ankle, forcing his foot off.

As Gavin was dodging Robin's attacks he heard the internal radio go off with a message. "Lead the Titans to my headquarters anyway you can."

The other members of the Panthers received the same message.

Gavin blocked Robin's swing and punched Robin's head. The blow connected and Robin fell to the ground.

He got up quickly and got even more aggressive with his attacks. He was determined to take this young man down. He leapt at Gavin with his arms outstretched.

Gavin threw up his arms to block but Robin flipped over him and pulled something out of his pocket; the object was a small tracking beacon. He threw it and it landed on Gavin's back.

Gavin turned around and stopped.

Robin landed on the ground and was about to attack again when Gavin started to back up.

The young man looked at him. "Well, until next time Robin, Goodbye. Well fought. You have learned well."

Robin stood up looked at Gavin and nodded. "I learned from the best."

Gavin turned around and looked over his shoulder. "I'd like to meet your Sensei one day." Without another word Gavin was gone. Robin felt the other panthers run past him.

Raven floated to the ground, knelt down, and sighed. "I've never met a tougher opponent since joining the Titans. What is with these people?"

Robin walked up to her. "They're determined, for whatever reason they may have. Perseverance is something we've rarely encountered when fighting most bad guys."

Raven nodded. "It is a noble trait. But this is exhausting, that girl matched my magic step for step. She even put me in a disarming spell so I couldn't use my magic."

Robin reached out his hand. "Come on let's go deal with the Panthers victims and go home."

Jinx and her friends were let down and untied. Jinx looked at Robin. "What the hell was that all about?"

Robin shrugged. "Apparently you were there targets. I don't know why. Regardless you're free to go. Don't make us come after you, we're beat."

Jinx laughed and nodded. "We are too. Thanks for the help, by the way."

Gizmo looked at his leader like she was crazy but kept his mouth shut.

Jinx walked up to Cyborg. "We really need to talk. Is there still a chance for us? The past few weeks have made me think about it a lot and I still have feelings for you. I know you had to do what you did, I'm over it already. Could we just start over?"

Cyborg nodded. "I'd like that. I'll call you later and we'll talk."

Jinx smiled and turned toward Robin. "As thanks for saving us I promise not to do anything to anybody for a whole week."

Robin nodded. "You've already done that, in fact I can't think of a thing you've down at all in several weeks. Still, I accept your promise. The only thing I ask is that you use your free time doing something productive. It doesn't have to be community service or any goodie-goodie thing. I also would like you to tell Cy about it so that I know what you're doing and that you're doing it."

Jinx nodded. "Sounds fair and I accept. I'm getting board anyway of picking on people, I don't feel it's fulfilling enough anymore."

Robin smiled. "I'm happy to hear that. You should think about important things like what you want to do for a living. Enough of the lecturing, you guys go on home."

Jinx smiled at Robin and walked away with her friends in tow.

The Titans went back to the tower exhausted.

Beast boy went to the lounge, as he always does after a hard fought battle, and was about to plop down on the sofa when he noticed Star wasn't sitting on the couch. He shrugged it off at first assuming she went to her room.

Raven walked up beside him. "Have you seen Starfire since we got back? I only ask since she didn't hug me when I was heading for my room."

Garfield looked at Raven. "No I haven't. Is she's not in her room?"

Raven shook her head. "I just got back from checking there. Where else could she…"

Robin came running into the lounge breathing hard form running. "Guys, I just checked all the rooms. I think Starfire was kidnapped."

Garfield rushed up and spun around. "Kidnapped! Do you know by who?"

Robin shook his head. "All I know was as I was looking in the music room for her I saw a man sized hole in the wall. She fought off someone but lost."

Suddenly an alert from the TV that doubled as a veiwscreen went off.

Raven activated it. The image came up and revealed Gavin in a dark building. "So I assume by now you've noticed that your dear, and quite sexy friend if I do say so, is missing. If you want to see her come on over and we'll see if you have what it takes to rescue her."

Garfield stared at Gavin. "What have you done to her?"

Gavin looked at him. "I haven't done anything at all to her, green one. In fact she doing fine, well aside from being tied up. I'll prove it."

The camera moved to show Star hanging from the ceiling tied up in rope. Her gag was off and she was being kindly fed by Freyha.

Gavin turned the camera back toward him. "As you can see we take care of our prisoners. I'm just glad she's being rationale about all this. Anyway, my boss wants you all to come and see him."

Robin looked at Gavin. "Who are you working for Gavin? Is it really worth all this?"

Gavin nodded. "Yes it is. You can't understand what we're doing, it's never happened to any of you. Don't go acting all righteous Robin. As for whom I'm working for I don't know his real name, and the name he's going by doesn't matter. Now if you'll excuse me I have a few things to attend to." The transmission ended and the screen went blank.

Beast boy threw his arms up in the air. "What does he mean come there? We don't even know where there is."

Robin shook his head. "Actually we do. I planted a tracker on Gavin's back and I'm pretty sure he didn't notice." He walked down toward the TV and activated the map of the city. The red dot that indicated the tracker flashed on a building near the center of the city. "There, at that old abandoned steel factory, that's where they are."
